Every year, the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA) collaborates with experts across Canada to publish the Alternative Federal Budget (AFB). The AFB is an exercise in what’s possible—a comprehensive guide to how a federal budget can achieve a vision where everyone in Canada can access the best public services, can get the income support they need to move out of poverty, and can tackle the greatest challenges of our time—such as income inequality, climate change, the cost of living, racism and truth and reconciliation. We also show how the federal government could pay for this transformative change through a suite of progressive taxes.
This year’s AFB is produced in anticipation of a federal election in 2025. As such, it’s written with political party platforms in mind—we hope this serves as inspiration and guidance to all political parties as we move into election mode.
